Simeon Burnett: Mbappe above Lewandowski? Do me a favour!
Paul Salmon: Is Kylian Mbappe named after the bad guy in The Running Man? That would be fantastic.
Is The Running Man the best Arnie film?

It was heartbreak for him as he failed to win the one major club trophy not in his locker - the Champions League - as Juventus were defeated by Real Madrid in the final. Oh and Italy failed to qualify for the World Cup.
The 39-year-old helped Juve to the title though.
Swings and...

Luca G-M: If Ronaldo wins the Ballond'Or, it shows it's a team award, Madrid won the UCL but Messi had better stats?!
Michal Koziol: How Mbappe so high is beyond me. Look at him and Lewandowski. Mbappe had one good season, Lewy is consistent for years, carrying club and country on his back almost single-handedly.
Kevin Logan: Lord Bendtner getting overlooked once again! Smh
No doubt Bendtner still holds hope of winning the big one

He is expected to join PSG next summer for about £160m. That's £160m!

Prexy Precious: It's Cr7 Or No one else
Alan Kennedy: If you take away headed goals from Ronaldo due to their height difference, Messi is far superior than cr7.

Ali Ack: How on earth is Benzema in the top 30? If he’s included, Matej Vydra should be there too
John MCenerney: Another Ballon d’Or for CR7. Why Iniesta hasn’t won this at least twice is beyond me it’s criminal in fact, the same goes for the great Xavi. Two all time greats without them FCB & Messi wouldn’t have had half the success over the last 10-15 years.
ShadyVipy: How the hell does Kane come further than Lewandowski and Cavani and Suarez? WOOOOOW.
Vydra just missed out. Apparently.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Polish striker's 31 Bundesliga goals helped Bayern Munich to their 27th top-flight title.
The 29-year-old is as exceptional in the air as he is on the ground.
Thoughts on the new hair?
These stats go some way to explaining why Ronaldo and Messi have dominated the Ballon d'Or in recent years.

Whether an African wins the Ballon d'Or in the future might depend on a German coach - Jurgen Klopp.
Africa's three most expensive signings, and those with the potential to develop, will all be playing under Klopp and Liverpool in the coming years - Egypt's Salah, Senegal's Sadio Mane and Guinea's Naby Keita.
All three have already shown what they are capable of at club level. Salah and Mane, who are both 25, also have the advantage of playing key roles in strong national teams, with both men set to showcase their ability at the World Cup next season. Both are blessed with incredible speed and are improving their scoring skills as well as their final balls - if that continues, they can cement their reputations as world-class players.

Hakunah Morata: Ronaldo will never be quite the same player as Messi but full credit to him for coming down from 5-1 to 5-5 in terms of #BallondOr, external wins considering his age. A serial winner, a hard worker, sometimes cringy and egoistic but nevertheless a fighter.
Darren Walker: With #BallondOr, external tonight my question is who has been the worst player in Europe.What your top 3 be.
Messi Scored: Real Madrid fans celebrating that Cristiano has the same amount of Golden Shoes, Champions Leagues, and the #BallondOr, external as Messi. Messi is the STANDARD
You weren't even backhanded with those 'compliments' Hakunah.
By the way, we're expecting the ceremony/event to start at 18:00 GMT - the winner will be presented with the Ballon d'Or trophy at the Eiffel Tower. I'm not entirely sure which level.

Image source, Getty ImagesWhen I went to Kylian Mbappe's first club, AS Bondy, earlier this year, the coaches told me they've been calling him a future Ballon D'Or winner since he was doing step-overs at the age of seven.
The 18-year-old burst on to scene last season with 26 goals for Monaco, and now has the world at his feet. Next year, Mbappe will become the second-most expensive player on the planet when Paris St-Germain make his loan move permanent, and the man he'll be pushing into third place - Ousmane Dembele- could be his Ballon d'Or rival over the next decade.
A hamstring injury has prevented Dembele, 20, from showing Barcelona fans what he can do, but he proved at Rennes and at Borussia Dortmund that he has all the attributes to become the world's best player.
This won't be a Messi-Ronaldo style rivalry, though - Mbappe and Dembele are very good friends and they'll be playing together in a frightening French forward line for years to come.
20th to 15th

Entering at 19, what would Chelsea do without him? Sixth. It's Eden Hazard.
